The Cosine Indicator
Have you ever wished you could remember just how much to adjust your hold on a target that is at an up or downhill angle? Well there is a shooting do-dad that will help your long-range shooting. It’s called a cosine indicator.
Precision-machined, aircraft-grade aluminum instrument eliminates guesswork when adjusting your scope to fire at elevated, or very low targets. The orange needle moves with your firearm and displays a number that indicates the percent your gun is off level. Multiply the indicated percent by the target distance to easily calculate the adjusted distance for gravity. Dovetailed bottom fits onto the aluminum mount (shown above) which fits Picatinny and Weaver-style rails. Or, mount an extra Weaver-style ring on your scope tube and clamp the Indicator in the ring’s dovetail.

Gun Owners Beware Flying On Airtran
Airtran and their rules that don’t match up with TSA.
From their website:
Ammunition – small arms ammunitions for personal use must be securely packaged in the original manufacturer’s packaging, or in a fiber, wood, or metal box specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition. Ammunition must be packed in baggage separate from the firearm.
50 caliber for rifles/pistols are Not allowed. 8 gauge shells for shotguns are Not allowed.
Once again what does the size of a projectile have to do with anything? Of course I can understand their rule to pack ammo in a separate bag since they now charge for baggage. Get out your wallet. I guess we should start emailing their company and fly some other carrier until they change their policy. 80 million gun owners in this country can swing a pretty big stick if everyone would just get involved.
To drop Airtran a friendly note about their absurd policy regarding guns and ammunition.

Will wonders never cease. A small Texas school district in Wilbarger County, northwest of Ft. Worth, has agreed to let some teachers and staff carry concealed handguns to protect their school, which is reported to be a 30-minute drive from the sheriff’s office. Already the anti’s are screaming doomsday but I say it’s very unlikely that they’ll have any sort of problems. I love Texas.
No comments - Click to Enter OneTSA to setup a nationwide regulation banning guns on airport property
The Atlanta airport administration has decided to spit on a new Georgia state law and continue a ban on guns in the public, non-sterile areas of its airport.
How does this effect gun owners?
Because the airport is asking the TSA to setup a nationwide regulation banning guns on airport property, including the public, non-sterile areas!!!
No more leaving a gun in your car while you catch a flight. No more carrying a gun in parking lots or on public sidewalks at airports. No more having a gun in your car as you drive to the airport to pick someone up or drop them off.
We must contact the TSA and the President and Vice President and ask them to keep the U.S. Government from implementing such a ban!

SUBJECT: Leave state law alone on lawful gun carry in airports!
Dear President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and TSA Administrator Hawley:
I am concerned that big city officials from Atlanta and elements of the anti-gun movement are moving to misuse federal power to accomplish what they cannot do in state capitols - i.e., criminalize gun carry in the public and non-sterile areas of airports.
The vast majority of state legislatures support the right to carry handguns in public, including the non-sterile areas of airports. Any effort to reverse these state law decisions by way of the federal bureaucracy insults federalism and the right to bear arms.
According to the Supreme Court in the Heller decision the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right and, “[a]t the time of the founding, as now, to ‘bear’ meant to “’carry.’”
Please ensure the TSA stays out of gun ban politics in Atlanta and across the Unites States!
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME

PLATFORM CONFIRMS DEMS STILL ‘DON’T GET IT’ ABOUT GUN RIGHTS, SAYS CCRKBA
BELLEVUE, WA – The 2008 Democratic Party’s draft platform confirms that the party still “doesn’t get it” about Second Amendment gun rights versus the Utopian fantasy that gun control laws will somehow make neighborhoods safer, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“While promising to preserve our Second Amendment rights,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “the party platform demonizes semiautomatic sport utility rifles and wants them banned, calls for anti-gun show legislation and proposes so-called ‘common-sense’ gun laws. Many Democrats believe bans on most guns are ‘common sense’ and they still support the handgun ban in Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago. Boiled down, all it really means is that the Democrats are still the party of gun control no matter how they try to re-package the rhetoric, and they know it.”
Gottlieb, co-author of a new book called These Dogs Don’t Hunt: The Democrats’ War on Guns, said the party is shamelessly telling American gun owners that they embrace the rights of millions of shooters, hunters and gun collectors, “but there’s a caveat.”
“The party’s gun control platform plank puts the lie to everything they say,” he added. “As Democrats descend on Denver to nominate a candidate who is on record in opposition to sensible concealed carry laws, we encourage gun owners across the country, and especially in Colorado, to remind the party that the Supreme Court in June held that gun bans are unconstitutional. Yet here they are, calling for a ban on so-called ‘assault weapons’ even after years of experience tells us that Bill Clinton’s ban accomplished nothing, and cost the party control of Congress in 1994.
“Democrats want to regulate gun shows out of business,” he continued, “even after a study done for the Justice Department found that gun shows are rarely the source of firearms used by criminals. Gun shows provide a forum, a gathering place for law-abiding gun owners to discuss ideas and issues, and share constitutionally protected freedoms of speech, assembly and the right to keep and bear arms. Increasingly, Democrats seem averse to the exercise of these rights by anyone who does not share their philosophy. And this is the party of inclusion?
“Democrats have an opportunity to reject and repudiate this platform,” Gottlieb concluded. “If they do not, that tells American gun owners everything they need to know about Democrats as November approaches.”
